If you commented on the YouTube video showing off the PS3 jailbreaking or tweeted about the hack, beware: Sony wants your personal information, and it wants it bad.

This is insane. One can’t even comment on a YouTube video without worrying about being the target of a legal investigation now? Give it up, Sony. Let people do what they want in their own homes with the devices they purchase. Nothing good is going to come of all this BS.

I wonder if they’re only requesting identifying information on commenters/tweeters who are exposing more instructions/files related to the hack. Either way it’s quite a shame that you have to be worried about who you follow on Twitter (as is the case with the Anonymous account, where they attempted to gain identification information on all followers) and what you comment on in YouTube.
